Atlantic Beverage Company
Little Bank Renovation
Jacksonville, NC
I was given the opportunity
to join an architect from the firm in
taking existing measurements of a
local bank. I then worked with the
architect to draft the existing and
renovation drawings for the project.

Based on information and
drawings received from the Beverage Company, I drafted the existing and renovation plans for this
project. I also worked to set up the
construction documents for the
project.

During my time in this internship, I was
able to visit a site in Rocky Mount, NC with
a senior designer to take the existing measurements of a local church. I then helped
to set up the drawings using the measurements that were taken. This project provided
a great opportunity to work out in the field
under existing conditions. My in-office work
consisted of drafting plans, elevations and
sections, and correcting mark-ups regularly.
I generated several door schedules, set up
construction documents, and rendered
plans and elevations of other projects for
clients to view, which are displayed on the
next page.

Sketch outside of a temple in Shangri-La, China

This journey across China brought our group
of 15 to 9 different cities, including Beijing, Xiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;an, Dali,
Lijiang, Shangri-La, Yuanyan, Shanghai, Suzhou, and
Hong Kong. This summer program through China was a
5 week investigation dedicated to the study of architectural culture in China. This experience focused not only
on traditional buildings, but also contemporary forms.
Various levels of study were undertaken throughout the
trip as we traveled to different areas, which unveiled
levels of diversity within the architectural traditions.

Shanghai Case Study

Urban Context - Cite Bourgogne

Site Plan - built space vs. circulation

Cite Bourgogne - Entrance

Adjacent homes - sharing a public path

Entrance - stone gate entry

This was a case study that was completed with 4 other architecture students in Shanghai,
China. The site, originally named Cite Bourgogne by the French, was built in 1930. It has become locally known as Bu-Gao-Li Lane. Cite Bourgogne is located at the corner of South Shan Xi Road and
Middle Jian Guo Road. It was originally built to accommodate 78 families, but now has been overcrowded by 450 different households. The design of the laneway house dwelling can be viewed as a
blend of European and Chinese styles.
Fitting with the layout and the design, lilong housing means â&#x20AC;&#x153;laneway neighborhood.â&#x20AC;? This
laneway housing provides an interesting conjunction of public and private spaces. There is limited private space within this community due to all of the incoming families. Many families may share a single
kitchen. Within each kitchen, a family will have an alloted space and a specific water spout.
The government has introduced alterations in the recent years, which include the installation
of toilets. The block and brick that are currently seen are original features to the site. Today, the door
to house #21 is the best preserved door on the site.

The link that exists between the
McLeod Plantation and the ACBA is the
goal of preservation. This project defines the
space between historicism and modernism.
The idea involves a duality between the integration and separation of spaces. This has
been done by incorporating a continuous
wall into the site that creates a division, but
also develops a connection between two
very distinct groups. The wall is broken at
the gallery space of each building, which
expresses the idea of integration through
the development of a product. The building cantilevers through the wall only at the
gallery in order to keep the overall integrity
of the wall. The goal is not to separate the
buildings, but to create a larger sense of
community, which was a request made by
the American College of the Building Arts.

INTERIOR ARCHITECTURE [Group Design Build - Moveable Bench]
Interior Architecture generally focuses on re-designing the interior space
of an existing building, with a focus on
structure, and the way in which a user
would interact with space. However this
project focused on developing a piece
of furniture in which the user would interact with. The moveable bench was designed and constructed with a group of
8 other Interior Architecture students from
UNC Greensboro. The design consists of
2 stabalizing floor elements, a central
I-beam, and attached, yet moveable
seating elements. The I-beam is supported at regular intervals to support not
only the bench but also the user interacting with each seat. The seating elements
interlock with one another, but are free to
slide back and forth.

[physical therapy clinic]
1511 Westover Terrace
Greensboro, NC 27408
Site Location: Merritt Medical Plaza
Square Footage: 32,000+ SF
Initially, this project began with the
choice of a facility type and site location.
The size of the facility allowed for a large
intervention and multi-purpose design.

The concept of this project focused
on Structural Alignment: the re-alignment
of the facility to focus the design on regaining personal independence from physical
restrictions. This happens not only on the
structural level of the facility, but also during
the rehabilitation process for the patients.

The facility includes 10 personal
treatment rooms where the rehabilitation
process begins. There is an independent
exercise space and a track that patients
may utilize. The second floor contains a cafe
for social involvement for the patientsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; family members, creating a large, open design
within the facility.

Although this facility mainly acts as
a physical therapy clinic, it has the ability to
provide other services. Being that the families of each patient will be greatly involved
in the physical therapy, it was important to
include other elements of activity, in order
to respond to all of the individuals using the
space.
